Sleepy Foot

Hey all...new here!
Joined the gym about 3 weeks ago and I go 2-3 times per week.
I've had a few issues recently where my left foot falls asleep while I'm jogging on the treadmill, or even pedaling on the bike.
I jog at 4.2 and when I bike I push to stay over 100rpms
I've checked my shoes and they're not too tight
just to clarify by "sleepy" I mean that pins and needles feeling
Any thoughts as it if this might be something more serious? If it really does boil down to shoes is there a type you'd recommend?
Appreciate any advice

Mine does that too. Or when I'm on the bike my butt and legs go numb after about 30 minutes. Looking forward to hearing from other posters.0

That sounds like some pressure on a nerve. Or reduced blood flow to your feet. Check out this article.
